The Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon occupies the Palais Saint-Pierre, a former 17th-century Benedictine convent on Place des Terreaux whose cloister is now a sculpture garden. Its 70 rooms cover Egyptian and Mediterranean antiquities, decorative arts, coins and medals, sculpture and European painting, with works by Veronese, Rubens, Rembrandt, Monet and Picasso.
Lugdunum – Museum and Roman Theatres is Lyon's museum of Gallo-Roman history, set into Fourvière hill beside the Roman theatres and opened in 1975 in a concrete building by Bernard Zehrfuss. A spiral ramp leads past mosaics, inscriptions, statues and everyday objects, among them the Claudian Tablet, a bronze record of a speech Emperor Claudius gave in Rome in AD 48.
The Musée des Confluences is a museum of natural sciences and anthropology at the tip of Lyon's Presqu'île, where the Rhône and the Saône meet. Opened in 2014 in a steel-and-glass building by Coop Himmelb(l)au, it draws on collections built up over five centuries, from fossils and minerals to objects from cultures around the world.
